Design analysis of multiband-coupled stacked sectoral antenna array with finite ground plane using high low dielectric constant substrates is proposed in this paper for modern communication systems and applied physics. Multiband planar antennas have been extensively developed due to demands for integration of wireless communication systems. In this paper, we present the design and development of a multiband microstrip antenna array with parasitic coupling and stacking using two different substrates. The stacked designed antenna resonates at three different frequencies: 3.8, 5.4, and 10 GHz; therefore, showing a multiband property with good radiation (far-field) characteristics. A significant comparison study is also presented considering different dielectric constant substrates. The proposed antenna is an attractive solution for different wireless communication systems such as mobile systems, satellite systems, etc.

This paper presents the design and development of an X-band microstrip gap-coupled sectoral patch array antenna for application in wireless systems. A novel concept of bandwidth enhancement is considered for gap-coupled sectoral microstrip patch array antenna, which uses one active receiving antenna and multiple parasitic elements with finite ground plane. The parasitic elements give the possibility of creating a directive antenna beam. A broadband of 1 GHz with a return loss of −50 dB has been achieved in X-band along with a directivity of 11.1 dBi and reduced side lobe level to −23.7 for 3 dB angular width.
